couldn't build a magickal which will create a renaissance hotel. from specific resources. in israel is available in cinema tell time periods in hotels or recent. international pressure. as britain and france dropped a un resolution on a no fly zone over libya. and president obama's reckless conduct with military intervention a violence doesn't stop there for more on this join me gonna check out in washington in just a few moments. the whole story the media reporting from libya is accused of blowing the rest out of proportion to good headlines as conflicting reports keep the truth hidden from view. and the massive inflow of illegal immigrants from violence torn arab countries fueled anti muslim sentiments in the european

countries taking let me. live from our studios here in central moscow this is r.t. with twenty four hours a day international pressure is growing against colonel gadhafi nato is boosting its surveillance flights over libya to twenty four hours a day and president obama says the u.s. is considering possible military intervention and you can france is said to be drafting a u.n. resolution aimed at imposing a no fly zone and they're also suggestions america's are saudi arabia weapons to opposition fighters well let's get the latest from. these correspondent in washington d.c. also in london first you laura tell us about that no fly zone and how it could actually work. well a no fly zone is very much what it says on the tin it's the same which planes are

allowed to fly essentially and what it would mean is that it would give allied planes the right to shoot down anything that took off inside libya and the idea behind that is to prevent colonel gadhafi from turning his air force on his own people from attacking civilians so that's basically what it would do now we do know . and france is said to be drafting a u.n. resolution for a no fly zone william hague the foreign secretary here says that he's working closely with his partners on what he's calling a contingency basis on elements of a resolution for a no fly zone and we heard from a foreign office source that it's only going to be used in the case that it's needed but no decision has been taken yet to present it to the security council we've also heard more recently that nato has boosted airplane surveillance over libya to twenty four hours a day seven days a week and rather the communists leave a have said that that is part of a contingency plan that would go beyond humanitarian aid to libya now in the events

that this no fly zone resolution is presented this to the security council it may not go down particularly well russia as we know has a veto on the u.n. security council and foreign minister sergei lavrov has reiterated that russia is very much against any kind of foreign intervention in the situation in libya of course including military intervention that's what he had to say. we've already made it clear that we. will as a means of solving the crisis in libya. have problems. with. political leaders. and it's first the consequences of the no fly zone rebel forces in fact welcome welcome it they say that they are outgunned by the planes but if they only had to deal with gadhafi forces with his

ground forces then they could deal with that so it might tip the balance in what looks like a fairly even fight at the moment but of course a lot of commentators are saying that they see shades of iraq in this we had a no fly zone implemented ahead of the two thousand and three invasion of iraq and critics of that make said that in fact resulted in more civilian casualties than there would have been without it we have also heard rather worrying claims that it's athlete possesses chemical weapons which of course exactly the line that we were sold to the head of the invasion of iraq in two thousand and three and of course we now hear president obama say that the u.s. and its nato allies are considering military intervention which is also almost exactly what happened in the invasion of iraq which is now known to be have been an illegal war. thanks very much indeed for that northern go to washington d.c. it seems like pressure on gadhafi is mounting on your side of the ocean. president

obama said military involvement in libya is possible he did not specify whether he was talking about direct or indirect involvement the u.s. has reportedly asked saudi arabia if it can supply weapons to the rebels ending gal's eat the saudis have been told that opponents of the khadafi need anti-tank rockets mortars and ground to air missiles to shoot down gadhafi is fighter bombers this situation in libya is critical as it is with hundreds of people dead and with the saying he will fight until the last man standing and this reporting arm supply that could come from the saudis upon the request of the united states could inflame the situation even more it is also being reported that the supplies could reach within forty eight hours so we could be some two days away from a full fledged civil war in leave you know with the involvement of western powers for several days now the u.s. the u.s. of a have aircraft has been flying around levy and sort of making assessments

declaring a no fly zone over levy is not an option that's now on the table of u.s. policymakers even though that means of potentially protracted and costly military campaign secular state hillary clinton said one of the biggest concerns that the u.s. has is leaving of becoming a dry in somalia that these power vacuum radical forces all around in the absence of a more or less credible leader to deal with analysts say having that kind of a vacuum in levy is very much inconvenient for the u.s. considering libya is rich with oil it has the largest proven oil reserves oil reserves in africa and it's very hard to predict who will get hold of those riches if gadhafi is alf's that the u.s. was grand it could be a mad dog but later joined european powers to reconstitute to exploit levy is all well now that dealing with gadhafi is no more an option experts say the u.s. could try to influence the situation in a different way because they could very well be a military way to arming the rebels but history says that the practice of all of the history shows that the practice of arming the other side of

a conflict not only does not stop the violence but in for. lns it even more and here is what makes the arming the rebels possibility even more alarming americans themselves have estimated that levy especially the is the part of the country which is where the rebels have reportedly gained control is where is his home for a large number of good habits they make up a fifth of. its it's enough to say that one of the rebel leaders in northeastern being god he was once osama bin laden's personal driver the question here is whether the u.s. is going to end up putting the weapons in the hands of the radicals and destabilizing the region even more ok thanks very much indeed going to washington d.c. and also. in london. for the fog of war settled over the ongoing unrest there are conflicting reports on the number of killed there strikes by a curfew forces even the number of cities controlled by the opposition and this week's wave of reports suggesting colonel gadhafi was doomed turned out to be

exaggerations of first most importantly has more now from tripoli. well tripoli is calm it's business as usual with people back on the streets traffic is at its usual rate shops and businesses are open and so is a strong public display of the kind of the i think it is a good post as i think. honked people ranging. in greenwich village to show their support for him we have a week of almost planned five groups of protesters who are chanting long live and i was holding a liberal one and it's not a yes it will be made here in capital. in the last weeks of vacation particularly on the east india the duffy was using and the country was on the brink of the civil war seem to have no matter where they're much more sure of my colleagues on a boyko explored the phenomenon of how the western media has been reporting the

story so that let's take a look at the early of the war in comprehensible as it sounds it's present in any conflict just days ago these parents feared for their children's lives today they're taking their pictures in front of the tanks the desire to be kept trickle laughing in the face of danger is even stronger image of journalists and the conflict in libya is providing a perfect setting for it on t.v. screens been gazi may look like this juncture of the rebel resistance the country is waking to another day of colonel gadhafi may have lost about half of his country they watched these bombs fall from the skies but in reality it's more like a seaside resort than a conflict zone portal's a fully booked with journalists and residents go about their daily lives here boys are looking for new things to play with toy guns are in ample supply. some reports from them ghazi referred to the situation in eastern libya as war not

a conflict zone where rebels are engaged in sporadic and oscillating beach battles . with program after forces but an all out war moammar gadhafi is striking back forces loyal to libyan leader moammar gadhafi appeared to be advancing east libya's leader moammar gadhafi has fled the country with rebels professing their readiness to fight good after his regime to the bitter end of wonder news reports a caring predictions of in an uncivil war yet as the rebels' inability to mount a fully fledged offensive becomes more apparent so is the unbalanced nature of the coverage rather than being impartial observers stopped short of directing the protesters but here the accuracy or crew is warming up the crowd in time for their next live point. you know was one of the first reporters to arrive in benghazi for several days she's been traveling with the rebels about two hundred kilometers west of the city at some point the pro-government forces opened

fire at her crew a focal point of her report there is a war. where the real like it or not there is that there is a front line and there are people with guns and there are two sides fighting his channels know that gunfire and explosions make for strong t.v. but they also can help to blow things out of proportion of the journalist unable to report freely from tripoli and all the gadhafi controlled parts of libya son can find themselves sucked in by the rebel side of the story their goals are just opening up to journalists they just love. just whenever they take one city we go with them and then we go into into the other city but reporters need rebels to here in the opposition's press center in ghazi internet access isn't restricted and the coffee available twenty four hours the message is on the wall and sometimes finds its way into reports usually. government forces.

in one east and you go. the city's weapons depot had already been taken over by the rebels and it was the government. took it over when get out of. the enemy and he was. canadian forces marched into washington d.c. and. if we responded nobody would call. many people think that being a correspondent takes a lot of courage and hard work but actually. it's much easier and more in troy's routine journalistic assignments especially when there was a star comedy the problem here in that is that some reporters became not only part of the story but its main driving force and instead of hoping that full blown confrontation and bloodshed. that almost calling for it sounded like an

artsy. well it's no return to our main headline force could be grounded britain and france have reportedly pushed for a draft u.n. resolution to impose a no fly zone as nato do surveillance flights over the country that's the developing story in libya at the moment well on this i'm now joined live by our. who's the director of middle east project at george mason university and also a coal shero he's a writer and commentator on the middle east and london thank you both indeed for joining us here on i want to be first to you mr sharon so reporting that a resolution for a no fly zone is being drafted by the u.k. and france how do you see it working and is it actually justified in your opinion. well firstly i don't think it's justified authority and i don't think any form of forrester intervention at this particular moment would be advised neither in the in the long term and to start with the mechanics of friend or fly zone would take

a bigger commitment than any western state would be ready to make this government so i think western governments are pressurizing themselves to be seen to do something on libya when actually i don't think that's the right approach and they should back off and not intervene and allow this situation to be determined by the libyan people themselves or i will just now go to washington and to you mr sarra as we just heard mr sharon is against any form of military intervention well with reports of the u.s. asking saudi arabia to arm rebels and the fact that british troops were briefly detained in libya military interventions and officially begun isn't it. i think actually no fly zone is is justified at this moment it's not a military intervention in the sense of troops like in iraq coming in in libya there is no way the foreign troops will be able to get and then if that happens

that will change the situation drastically but i think not fly zone will only prevent the qaddafi of keeping bombing his own civilians which a lot of the people who have been killed and told now have not been just fighters have been mainly civilians so what's more. and more people would like to see is the arab countries getting involved and that's what the u.s. has been trying to do is give you the arab countries and playing behind the scenes unfortunately the arab countries will not intervene because they see themselves in many ways. in the same line of afraid of facing the same situation of being and expect that interesting point to shero even libya's neighbors to sort out last week i spoke to a journalist suggesting it could be the role of the egyptian military and indeed the tunisian military after all they're in control of those two countries are going to get along with the arab league is their responsibility and if that's the case and british intervention would be justified. not really because if you look at the

history of fire because eventually in other countries that wasn't always productive if you like you can look historically at the third force that went into lebanon in seventy five nineteen seventy six and that they've been very good results the complexity of the situation are whereby both egypt and tunisia have their own problems to deal with. whatever their form their intervention will take it will be seen as taking sides and then you will be able to promote as if it's intervention in libya nefarious i know that the situation seems very dire and people might panic and ask for intervention or western and even asking for the north is a form of intervention in my opinion but we have to let the libyan people for themselves the dynamics on the ground the term in themselves just look at the stories are just like to hear from established or away whether he agrees with you

because you are saying you don't agree with the no fly zone and also you agree that you are saying that there should be no intervention. do you agree that there yes you are supporting the idea of a no fly zone but what about military intervention on the ground do you actually think though the libyans should leave it to their own fate the country. yeah i don't think military intervention underground would be a good idea at this moment and neither khadafi or the those who are fighting against a position where they agree to call have been from a position to only start bombing office knowing and for them to sort it out themselves likely at the moment that something that should have a failure in the international community before intervening doesn't mean that we have to give up on the international community completely just because they've failed before in different other places it doesn't mean we have to give up it means we have to change the way intervention and by not seeing the troops there changing the way for intervention we're not coming in the international community shouldn't come into the pilot but to give a safe place where civilians are not being killed you create that could really

happen is to show that any form of military intervention whether it's humanitarian or competent i mean do you do you agree with what you just heard there really could be effective some form of intervention. oh absolutely not i mean it could be effective but it's not for the desired effects and when i say the desired effect it's the desire desired by the people themselves and if they if they want to follow a course of action they know what it would cost and they own to take this at their own kind of calculations and rest but let me look at it this way if you say no fly zone is not a form of intervention but what if the no fly zone doesn't do anything and this goes into a protracted struggle then what you will hear is there are calls for the west having already committed themselves to commit itself further and then you can only complicate the situation more just to clarify i am on the side of the libyan uprising the popular uprising but we can only complicate the situation if we ask

for any form of intervention and looking at the history of it even the examples that we were told are good and prevention is good humanitarian interventions they have always been problem problematic and come at the end of bungling of intervention by by western powers so i stand on the ground pragmatic ground against such an intervention including north lozano at the moment would you like to react to that. yeah i understand i understand the fear of the international intervention and that's why i think the more arabs being willing to intervene that would be better but i think at this moment watching what's happening there and specially watching khadafi who has never been stable he has been ruling with an iron first then nobody knows what his next step i mean there are reports about him possibly using chemical weapons that's a problematic and you can now watch that and react i think there have been examples in history where an international community did not react the response as in yugoslavia where you had massacres you had genocides happening and the

international community afford waiting until we see tens of thousands of people dying and then starting to wake up just very very briefly because we got to finish it just a final comment from you could it have survived this do you think. i don't think so i don't think so i think it's. history has sort of turned a new page history it's going to a new bridge and him i think sometimes but once that kind of break. and take the arms i think his days are numbered and final comment from you mr. i think we agree on that one definitely qaddafi will not survive the question is how many people will in the dying before he is out as he's up which are a director of middle east projects at george mason university most of culture writer and commentator on the middle east and london really interesting to hear what you both have to say thanks for joining us and i think with thousands of illegal immigrants escaping political terms of north africa continue to arrive on

the southern italian island of lampedusa presence looks unlikely to fuel the feeling that multiculturalism has failed in a europe also seeing a resurgence of the far right are now entering the debate as the new german minister of the interior who questioned presence in his country our senior correspondent daniel bushell has more now from brussels. islam does not belong in germany according to the country's new interior minister peter friedrich i did that immigrants to speak german first and foremost and know germany's quote western christian origins the country's four million muslims are. decrying a slap in the face for all muslims and it comes off charles langley merkel and britain's leader david cameron said the efforts to create a multicultural society in europe had failed the arrival of thousands of immigrants from the middle east and north africa fleeing that violence has inflamed a population already suffering from record unemployment and general economic

hardship in neighboring france the extreme right national front party will take first place in the first round of presidential elections there next year according to a new poll payne is expected to get twenty three percent of the vote that's ahead of president nicolas sarkozy the incumbent and the socialist opposition as well the party the national front has called for three million europeans to be sent out of the country to give you a flavor of their program both here and in belgium also in france there is next month expected to be passed the rule of law banning the full four years face veil the defenders of the law say that it's to stop violent protests for example recently many protesters have of one veils to protest against various things and they say it's not targeting the muslim population but of course many muslims are up in arms about that neighboring italy has perhaps been the worst affected many

immigrants have fled there just across the shore the mediterranean from north africa and the middle east and there's been an astonishing rise in right wing politics there as well. it's a. big. unemployment is a near record high and analysts believe much needed economic growth might still be years away more of a fresh scandals engulfing prime minister berlusconi are being reported on a daily basis during italians traditional distrust of politicians bad news yes but not for everyone grassroots political movements rather than parties cashing in on this grim state of affairs among them neofascist ones you know this is italy's cause a pound is about our plan to take everything so this is this we know quarter the multicultural multiethnic parts of the bustling community of asian middle east and

a label ourselves as fascists we are witnessing the end of the political parties rule movements such as this one will prevail against those members also claim there are an anti racist anti discrimination movement but they just playing the political correctness game movements members deny any wrongdoing. the media and leftist politicians are misrepresenting the disconnect between lawmakers and the electorate in italy is growing with an opposition virtually germinated by anti business going to rhetoric and the shattered ruling coalition seemingly more focused on its leaders legal issues there on the country's fate to some here even. a dead dictator seems to be more. matthew stevens rome truancy. business update is next now with dimitri.

were you watching business is going to have your company this year russian farmers are expected to plant the fewest in four years a survey by bloomberg says that's because farmers can not plant more due to the grain export and high diesel prices and the say this will have an impact on the international grain markets and that russia's role cannot be over estimated over the last two years especially if one looks back over the course of the last decade then russia's importance in terms of being older live a very competitively priced exporter for feed greens has really been growing very very rapidly and this is really meant that you know for most years you can just see the efforts you can create a russian particular being the source of the most competitively priced feed me to the world so you know with the russian valley in place especially from last year you'd have to see countries like the middle east in importing countries egypt for example which additional resources are russian weak having to import from more expensive providers like the us a part of the e.u. so there has been a pretty big reaction in terms of international prices and russia is one of the

countries which is actually crucial in terms of the export side of the dynamics of the global weak market. oil prices are keeping last week's places fighting in libya rages on with concerns the unrest may spread to other nearby oil producing countries but investment bankers say the price is far higher than real production costs. the world market is many ways a perfect for this market so in the long term prices in term of normal over the long term most of the action recover first committed on the beach and it was a battle. of the oil prices much result it is sort of premium and better than the world price from the third world there's a lot of political instability. around the world but fundamentally. the souls. of those about the rise in mars approach because of the world and that's the sort of where with respect to. be floating around the world. through stock markets now and just a reminder here in russia the markets are closed for

a public holiday i'm told wednesday stocks finished their last trading session which was saturday in the black rescue chips were higher last week with bank notes in the up more than one point two percent at saturday's. during twenty two and six international banks announced they want to cut back their presence in the russian banking sector and they've been steadily sold its russian mortgage business last year barclays says it's pulling out while spain santander has left the retail mortgage sector but analysts say the russian banking industry is becoming more competitive for international. control banks have become more aggressive. in this more competitive much more competitive market via the sheer scale of the. berkowitz didn't have. enough scale so they decided to me for that reason but that does not mean that the russian market became an attractive it's still very attractive but it's more

competitive. russia's ranks fifty nine for the list of the world's most competitive countries in terms of tourism report come by and by the world economic forum took into account the environment infrastructure and natural resources of one hundred thirty nine countries switzerland tops the list with germany in second place followed by france russia got relatively high marks for its nature and culture but as yet soon prove a number of aspects such as security and environmental protection. and that's all from the business team for now the headlines are next are to do so that's. down to the official party hardly cation to your party for i pod touch from the i q trapster. geology life on the. video on demand.
